2014 Map of Diamond Butte

About this map

Tonto National Forest defines this high Arizona landscape, where the rugged topography of Gila County is marked by a complex system of canyons and ridges. The map captures the remote character of the region, anchored by the namesake Diamond Butte and the distinctive Hells Gate formation where watercourses converge. Evidence of land use and cattle ranching appears through numerous water catchments like Goswick Canyon Tank and Fuller Mesa Tank, alongside springs such as Peveler Chimney Spring. Small settlements like Spurlock and Young sit at the southern edge of the quadrangle, connected by Forest Service routes including NF-133. The map's detail provides a look at the drainage patterns of Spring Cr and Haigler Canyon, showing how the early 21st-century landscape remains shaped by its geography and agricultural infrastructure.
